abstract = {While the current global public health crisis still rages on in many parts of the world, we can already observe the beginning of social and economic crises in COVID-19’s aftermath. Staggering US unemployment numbers and a looming European recession threatening to break up the Eurozone are just two of the main economic headlines of recent days. Many of these developments are not entirely new, but are embedded in a more comprehensive crisis of the liberal international order (LIO) — crumbling US leadership, a global populist re-orientation towards the nation state, decreasing international cooperation and economic exchange are just some of those phenomena. The current crisis acts as an accelerant to existing trends which I describe in a recent article for International Affairs. In it, I draw on Gramsci to develop a three-dimensional analytical framework which can help to make sense of the ongoing crisis of world order.},
